About Holly

Holly Keyser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and intimacy or relationship concerns. She also supports people managing addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and issues related to trauma and abuse.

Holly uses straightforward talk and a warm, caring style. She often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new approaches. She can be direct when needed and aims to make sessions practical and goal-focused.

Many people come to her for help with self-esteem, communication problems, codependency, and commitment concerns. She also works with challenges such as chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, body image, dissociation, and attachment or abandonment worries. Holly draws on trauma-focused methods when trauma and abuse are part of the picture.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then helps set small, clear goals. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and what will fit into everyday life. Holly emphasizes steps people can try between sessions to build momentum.

Holly practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm the current session format options before booking to ensure they match personal needs.

How Holly’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. It helps when people need someone who listens without judgment and helps them find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of trauma and abuse with strategies that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly will listen to your goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan together. She prioritizes clear goals and small steps so progress can be tracked and changed as needed.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule, or reduce the need to be on camera if someone prefers. Ask about current session arrangements when you schedule so you know what will work best for your situation.
